scholars are studying it, the pay
chologists issue occasional vol
umes expounding the theory, and
every now and then a business
man has an idea.
Friedriebstrasse, chief north
and south thoroughfare in tha
central city was jammed with a
curious mob the other day when
a hosiery shop set up a miniature

street before the astounding novel

Much worse waa the lot of the
enterprising manufacturer who
erected an electric light sign so
attractive that the police could not
handle the crowds.
Order Sign Down.
Instead of allowing the public to
become used to it, the police com
missioner ordered the sign down.
Since that time moving electric
signs have gradually ceased to
paralyze traffic and enough of
them are now scattered about the
business section to make a wel
come addition to the poor street
lighting.
Dissenters express themselves

is to do business in American
style, and to have Berlin win the
reputation of a big city in the
American sense.

Newspaper Ads Mediaeval.
But in the newspapers and mag

aeval, grading, with the patent

luring the reader into appreciation
of the merits of an automobile
tire through the anecdote at the
golf club, is utterly unknown.

IN GEORGIA SET
Athens, Ga., Dec. 22.—The week
of January 26 to 31 has been set
aside as the annual Farmers’ Week
at the State College of Agricul
ture, according to announcement
made recently by authorities of
the institution. A comprehensive
program is being arranged and an
pffnrr effort will will be ho ..J, made to cov*r the^
important problems to be faced by
Georgia farmers in 1925.
With a number of nationally
known agricultural authorities
scheduled to address the meeting,
it^ is expected that there will be
an even greater attendance at the
conference than was true in 1923,
when more than 1,000 were pres
ent. All county and home demon
stration agents will be in attend
ance, and the annual extension
conference will be held in con
junction with the farm meeting.
AH Phases to Be Studied.
The feature of the week will be
the study of all phases of agricul
ture and home economics, the pre
sentation in class and lecture of
the latest and best information on
these subjects by men and women
who have made them their life
study.
Not only will visitors secure
ideas as to how to accomplish
their work by better and more
efficient methods, bu^. they will be
inspired both by the contacts with
others who have similar problems
and by the addresses by men t.nd
women of national prominence.
Every faculty of the college will
be at the service of those who
come to this Farmers’ Week, say
officials of the institution, besides
the instructional work and a num
her of entertainment features.

htr Accomplishment*—
What Have They Been?
I have always found, even lu
youth, quite as much interest in
looking back us in looking forward.
It is good to plan for the future,
but there is quite as much to be
gained from reviewing the past and
in seeing how fas we have come,
how much we have accomplished,
in what ways we have deve’»ped.
I wus talking to Foreman about
the year that is so nearly at an end.
He waa dissatisfied with his prog
ress and uncertain as to whether
or not the time and money he had
expended had been worth while. He
had learned little, It seemed, for all
he could see, he wasn't different
than when he had left the little
country I town nine months ago. But
could see that he was a little
more himself, self-satisfied, a little surer of
a little less crude In his
manners. He was learning to think,
'earning to me$t people, and d*
veioplng than a little wider range of in
terest when he left home.
As you come to the end of the
year and look back, how far have
you come? It is an easy question
to ask, but possibly not so easy to
answer.

this that 1 should like to put be

New What, has the year meant to you?
friends? New powers? New
ideals? Have you done something
worth while? Are you better,
stronger, more able to fight the bat

Light in the Steeple
On Christmas Morning
Far above the sleeping city, like
a low and leading stur, like 8
watchful and kindly eye, like H
beacon of assuring hope, a prom
ise of Christmas morning, beamed
the light of the old church steeple.
It shone down through one of the
church windows and smiled upon
the pictured shepherds who < found
a morning at midnight; and upon
the stately wise men who knew the
jby of making gladness out of
gifts. Its rays lighted up a gar
ret, where two very hopeful young
sters were sleeping upon a very
small bed, after making sure that

oped Into an established busi-

New Orleans, Dec. 22.—The

with rather a firmer tone in the

Continued Expprts.
Another cause of the bullish
feeling was the continued exports,

It therefore became apparent that
exports would exceed last year’s

reach 4,000,000 bales shipped from

more ago; some of the dishes will
e<1U8led **
i Virginia .Sweet through Potato Pie.—Peel, five
I boll and mash a sieve
medium-sized sweet potatoes. Cream
, together one-fourth cupful of butter
and one-half cupful of sugar, adding
the "ell-beaten yolks ol three eggs,
the juice and grated rind of *
lemon, with a pinch of cinnamon.
Add the potato with one cupful of
rich milk, fold in the beaten whites
of the eggs and pour into a pie plate
lined with flaky crust. Bake In a
moderate oven, taking care that the
top does not become too brown be
fore the filling Is sufficiently cooked.
Brunswick Stew.—In the early
days In Brunswick county hunters
prepared this Virginia dish, using
squirrels as the meat for the stew.
When squirrels are not to be ob
tained, chicken or lamb Is substi
tuted: Cut the meat into serving
sized pieces, dip into flour. Place an
iron kettle over the fire and into it
place a layer of coarsely chopped
salt pork; over this add a layer of
thinly sliced onion, next a layer of
.parboiled potatoes, a layer of green
corn cut from the cob (canned corn
may be used), and finally a layer of
lima beans. Now place the meat in
the kettle and repeat with another
layer of the pork, onion and other
vegetables, then pour over two
quarts of boiling water, cover and
place the kettle where it will just
simmer for three or four hours. Now
add a quart of tomatoes Cut into
pieces, two teaspoonfuls of sugar, a
tablespoonful of salt, pepper to
taste, cover and cook another hour.
Thicken the gravy with flour and
butter rubbed to a paste, adding
more seasoning If needed; simmer
until the gravy is cooked and the
stew is ready to serve. This makes
a large kettleful but is good re
heated If the family do not consume
it all the first day.
Roast Oysters.—This Is a typical
Washington dish. Select Targe oys
ters, scrub the shells well, place in
a dripping pan in a hot oven, or on
top of a coal range. When the
shells begin to open, remove to a
hot platter and serve at once with
- melted . batten ■ .---------r -~- —
